TSG89: Color Challenge!

Monday, January 10, 2011

Good Morning!

Did you miss me?! I'm sorry I've been so quiet lately. Just trying to find my groove again after the holidays. I so enjoyed the time off from work and play that I prolonged it as long as I could! Do you blame me?! ;) But I'm back this week with avengence! I made a couple of cards yesterday and I can't wait to share them with you!

It's Monday and that means another There She Goes challenge! It's a color challenge this week and we're challenging you to use the colors....PINK, RED, GREY and BLACK.


The new Love Birds set has this adorable heart flower stamp in it and I love how whimsy it is! With my trusty reinkers and aquapainter brush, I colored in the flowers with SU's Pretty In Pink in the center, and a combination of Regal Rose and Ruby Red for outside. Old Olive was used for the leaves. Then I used a large scalloped circle nestie to cut the image out and I sponged the edges of it with Distress Inks Antique Linen and Tea Dye. The layout came from this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #99. For the colors, I went straight for Basic Grey's Olivia paper pack. They were a perfect match for this challenge! The gorgeous sentiment is from the new Sentimental set that I haven't had a chance to play with until now.

Would you like to play along this week?? To be eligible for the giveaway, you are to create a card that utilizes the colors provided, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of the challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (Jan 17th). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!
